Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Karl Hungus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leroy Goins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hungus kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Marilyn Manson - Sweet Dreams. Goins has chosen 50 Cent- God Gave me style as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
